©maker ts ©ut Peacefully and calmly through the sunshine I strolled toward the college. Nearing the campus all reflections were rudely interrupted by a strange and fearful uproar and soon a scene of wild pandemonium burst into view. Everywhere were students holding large, imposing-looking books. Some were shrieking with maniacal laughter, and one of these was heard to say, “I knew he’d get his some day. This sure was coming to him!” A few there were who sat placidly gazing at some one page with a rapt and dreamy look. These had found his or her picture and were content. “I’ll fix that guy,” an angry youth muttered threateningly. “The big slob, to tell that, and now I'll be in bad for sure.” One girl hurried past with flushed cheeks and hands tightly clenched, saying sadly to herself, “It's not fair! My name isn't in their Old Track Squad at all!” Suddenly a small band of students steal softly and fearfully out the back way, and with many backward looks of terror hastily make their way countryward. No longer bewildered, I remember that it is Croaker day at Wesleyan, for there goes the unhappy editor and his fellow-conspirators, until the wrath of the neglected ones dies out. iOlLfj . A V
